@Techaltar I think it's highly understandable that people don't trust on Microsoft: Their track record is abysmal.

@Techaltar @Rathmox I still see a lot of "consumer" keyboards and mouses be USB-A. And pendrives, and external drives. And even the typical charger brick is USB-A to USB-C, which makes connecting your phone need the A port.
And the charger might be the most obnoxious: As phones will start coming w/o power brick, so does it disappear the way to enforce the change.
@Techaltar I got my Nokia Lumia 930 and rocked it for 4 years. Even though I broke the screen somewhat soon after launch. If I did get away from it, it just was because the battery died.
I still think the Tiles are a better idea than the logos that have certainly been ripped from the computer and work there but not as much here...
